He took to Twitter to make the announcement, writing: “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States!”
His wife, reality TV star and entrepreneur, Kim Kardashian tweeted the American flag in support of his announcement.
If he goes through with this announcement, he will contend against current President, Donald Trump and presidential hopeful, Joe Biden.
Many took to Twitter following his announcement to react to the news. Some are convinced that Kanye is running in order to divert the black votes from Joe Biden.
Some have also started to imagine an America with Kim Kardashian as First Lady considering the reality TV star’s colourful past and the nature of her rise to fame.

So, Kanye says he's running for prez and Kim tweets a flag in support. No doubt put up to it to split the black vote to take Biden votes so Trump will win. They are good friends with Jared and Ivanka. These ppl are rich trash. #KanyeWest #KimKardashian pic.twitter.com/a3UcgLcj5W

Kanye West and the Kardashian tribe have over 100 million followers between them. He would be our first bipolar, anger management "jackass" faux angry rapper president and she would be the first p--n actress Armenian naked first lady with transgender step father. #LetsDoThis

People jump at any given opportunity to drag Kim Kardashian, and I don’t like it.
Kanye West set divert Biden vote of the blacks to himself to favour Trump?Could that be true.
